Seven Brides for Seven Brothers [1954]

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Stanley Donen
2/5

Someone on the internet said this was the best musical ever. I say it’s the most meetooish musical ever. I’m pretty sure I’ll still prefer Cannibal! The Musical.

The Trouble with Harry [1955]

The Trouble with Harry
Alfred Hitchcock
1/2

Comedy/Mystery, says imdb. Not funny, says I.

To Catch a Thief [1955]

To Catch a Thief
Alfred Hitchcock
3/7

Some of the worst overdubbing I’ve ever seen.

I Confess [1953]

I Confess
Alfred Hitchcock
2/6

A film with both the greatest info-dump and the greatest nose in cinema history in it.

A Merry Friggin’ Christmas [2014]

A Merry Friggin’ Christmas
Tristram Shapeero
1/4

It’s like Christmas Vacation. Only stupider and not funny.

Under Capricorn [1949]

Under Capricorn
Alfred Hitchcock
2/6

Boooring!

Hail, Caesar! [2016]

Hail, Caesar!
The Coens
2/6

The CGI! It burns us!

Blow-Up [1966]

Blow-Up
Michelangelo Antonioni
2/6

Boring! Turns out this is the make of a remake I saw earlier—Blow Out [1966]—and a rare case of remake out-performing make.

3 Godfathers [1948]

3 Godfathers
John Ford
2/6

So it’s time for some festivus-movies, then. This wasn’t very good.

The First Purge [2018]

The First Purge
Gerard McMurray
2/5

These movies aren’t getting any better, I don’t think.
